46. The old man reappears

From the gate of the North Star to the private room of Baisi, for five or six minutes, Shapiroli kept talking, and after all, it was not the point of speaking.

When he arrived at the door of the box, Mao Dong hesitated for a moment before pushing the door, and turned his head to look at Sha Pei, "You are waiting outside." ”

"Brother!"

"Alright, wait for me to send Liang Ju back."

Shar Pei also wanted to persuade Mao Dong, but Mao Dong had already pushed the door open and walked in.

**

Bai Si was the only one sitting there with a wine glass in the box, and Liang Ju, who was drunk next to him, was unconscious.

He sat as if he had been in a sitting position, holding a cigarette in his hand and letting the ashes fall to the ground, without taking a puff.

Mao Dong pushed the door in, and a cluster of flames in Bai Si's narrow eyes ignited instantly, and after a while, it slowly extinguished.

He didn't move, and he didn't move.

It's just eye to eye.

Four years, more than a thousand days and nights of hatred, at this moment, face to face.

This is also the first time that Mao Dong and Bai Si met after Mao Bei's death.

Liang Ju on the sofa turned over uncomfortably, and the eyes of the two men shifted to her with the sound.

Mao Dong's gaze locked tightly on Liang Ju, and from a short distance, he observed her current situation. Whether there is any injury, whether there is being bullied.

Bai Si raised his eyes lightly and looked at Mao Dong again, he had completely turned into a mature man after many years.

Mao Dong ignored Bai Si's gaze, and he walked quickly to Liang Ju's side and helped her up from the sofa.

"Liang Ju, Liang Ju? Wake up. He patted her cheek, but Bai Si sat down and laughed.

Bai Si pointed to the wine table and said, "She drank all of this alone." ”

A table full of empty wine bottles staggered.

Mao Dong glanced at it, and a fire suddenly surged in her heart, she actually dared to get so drunk with a stranger casually.

Liang Ju couldn't wake up, and Mao Dong bent down to carry her on his back.

He was about to leave, but Bai Si spoke.

"I thought you wouldn't get any closer to a woman." Bai Si threw away the cigarette in his hand, and the ash fell to the ground. He lit another one.

Four years ago, Bai Si took a few brothers to find trouble with Mao Bei, because his woman actually seduced Mao Dong in broad daylight, and he just wanted to see what was so great about this man who looked stern. At that time, Mao Dong didn't know the real reason for Bai Si, and he rarely paid attention to women.

Mao Dong tilted his head and only gave Bai Si a side face, "Come to me directly if you want to do anything, don't mess with my family." ”

"Family?" Bai Mao pointed at Liang Ju on Mao Dong's back with his hand holding a cigarette, "You call her family, then what is the sister-in-law left by your eldest brother?" ”

Mao Dong turned around completely, staring at Bai Si with a pair of deep eyes.

"Zhong Ling hasn't forgotten that you killed her fiancΓ©."

"It's me? Make no mistake, right? Are you sure it's me, not my big brother? ”

Bai Si lowered his head and smiled, and extinguished the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, "It seems that we have a lot of affection." ”

Mao Dong looked coldly, and his whole face was tense.

Bai Si got up from the sofa, step by step, walking very slowly, which also made Mao Dong more clearly see the disability that fell from his right leg.

Bai Si kept a grim smile on his face, and walked calmly towards Mao Dong's side.

Less than half a meter away, he stopped and stared at Mao Dong.

"I've been thinking about you for the past few years, and I've been thinking about you very much."

The chasing light hit the top of the two people's heads, casting a pale orange shadow. Coming out of a man's mouth, with a cold tone and a charming and feminine expression, it sounds chilling.

"Whenever it rains, I like to walk outside in shorts, so that the pain will become more scathing, and the more it hurts, the more I miss you."

He stepped forward again and approached Mao Dong.

He had a smile in his eyes, and his smile was cold, "You say, am I in love with you?" ”

Mao Dong stared at the eyes that turned up at the corners of his eyes and said nothing.

Bai Si said, "Don't you want to know what I'm going to do when I come back this time?" ”

He walked to Mao Dong's side, slammed into the ground, and reached out to touch Liang Ju's face, Mao Dong reacted quickly and hurriedly took a few steps backwards to avoid his hand.

"You dare to touch her." The green tendons on the back of Mao Dong's hand burst out, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burst out at any time.

His hand stopped in mid-air, and Bai Si chuckled.

"Mao Dong, if you are willing to give me something, maybe, I can really let her go."

Bai Si's hand slowly drooped, as if it was about to move to Mao Dong's right leg.

"One thing is one thing, you have paid my debt, and I will avenge your brother's revenge for you, what do you say?"

"That's your brother, how can I believe you?"

Bai Mao removed his hand from Mao Dong's lap and limped back to the sofa. "I know the details of your woman and your sister-in-law, do you still have a choice?"

The last cigarette in the cigarette case on the table was pulled out, and Mao Dong looked closely at Bai Si's every move and smiled, his eyes were deep.

"How do you want to pay your debts?" In the middle of the night, he asked.

Bai Si lifted his face and looked at him obliquely.

"Your legs."

His tone was lighthearted, as flat as if he were discussing the weather. "Didn't you always want to find my eldest brother, I'll give you his address, and when you're done, you leave your right leg."

"Mao Dong, do you agree to this deal?"

***

Shar Pei kept looking at the watch on his wrist, and sometimes he was too anxious to go in, so he could only lie on the door of the box and listen to the movement inside.

It's a pity that nothing can be heard.

The door clicked and pulled open from the inside.

"Brother!"

Mao Dong carried Liang Ju on his back and walked out of the box.

"Did you drive?" In the first sentence, Mao Dong asked Sha Pei.

Shar Pei looked into the box a few times, but couldn't see anything, except for the body of the white fur half shining in the light and the side face hidden in the corner of the sofa.

"Brother, that kid didn't embarrass you, did he?"

Mao Dong said: "Go and drive your car." ”

Sha Pei looked at Liang Ju lying on Mao Dong's back and didn't react at all, and knew that this girl must be very drunk. "Good!"

Shar Pei turned around and ran towards the exit, only to be met by a student-looking girl dressed in a sexy outfit.

"My name is Lan Lan, and you're Orange's boyfriend?" She looked over Shar Pei to see Mao Dong.

Mao Dong frowned lightly and asked impatiently, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"This is what Yu Yanjie, a good friend of Orange, entrusted me to give you."

A broken phone.

"It's said there's a recording about you, you can open it and see it."

***

Late at Christmas, Christmas night is still thriving, with tall buildings in the distance lit up and shopping malls closing late for the festive season.

The car drove slowly in the traffic, surrounded by groups of young people.

Liang Ju lay on his side in the back seat, his head resting on Mao Dong's lap.

Mao Dong draped his coat over her and asked Shar Pei to turn on the warm air in the car to the maximum.

"Brother, have you seen the broken phone, what is in it?"

Mao Dong didn't have the heart to think about this, and only then did he think of the mobile phone when Sha Pei asked.

When I opened my phone, there was nothing inside, but there was a video in the album, and I found a recording in the audio folder, with the title of 'Liang Ju'.

There was a long queue of traffic in front of him, and Shar Pei pulled the car to a halt and leaned over from the driver's seat.

First, when I opened the video, the picture was dark and blurry, and I could only hear the sound of a group of people talking clearly.

"Orange, your brother Qi can't come, don't you want to say something?" A man's voice in a noisy background.

"I want to say Sun Qi, I will always be very, love, you!"

β€œWOW!”

Like in a bar, Shar Pei can hear the sound of dance music.

He immediately raised his head to observe Mao Dong's expression.

The person who gave the phone did not seem to be without kindness.

Mao Dong turned off the video with an expressionless face and turned on the recording again.

The recording opens, and in front of it is a bunch of noises, faintly speaking, but inaudible.

"What!" Shar Pei thought it was just a prank, and she didn't have any interest in continuing to listen to it.

"You say, is he right for me?" Suddenly, the noise disappeared, and Liang Ju's voice appeared.

It was as if she was asking someone, seeking answers.

Shar Pei paused, and quickly leaned back in.

Mao Dong lowered his eyes, heard Liang Ju's voice, and raised his eyes slightly.

The recording continues, "You want to be crazy, whether he's fit or not. A man's voice.

"Oh, don't be long-winded, my camera is running out of battery if you talk about it again! Say it! ”

There was silence in the recording for a few seconds, but Shar Pei stared at Mao Dong tightly, and a bad intuition gradually poured into his heart.

The light in the car was dim, and Mao Dong's expression was not clear.

Soon, Liang Ju's voice reappeared inside.

"I want to forget Jì Sun Qi, I want to forget Jì past, I won't..."

"I, Liang Ju, will not fall in love with any man, all I want is madness, men are not good things except for my father and Sun Xiaoshou, I will not be defeated by any man, I want to grab the tail of youth crazy, crazy, one, once!"

β€œYEAH! Cheers! There was a cheer.

"Cheers!" "Cheers!"

Her voice was joyful.

Just a few minutes into the recording ended, and there was a dead silence in the car.

Shar Pei didn't dare to speak, but his subordinates clutched the leather seat in the driver's seat.

He looked at Mao Dong, Mao Dong's raised eyes slowly lowered again, looking at Liang Ju on his legs.

"Brother," Shar Pei called out hesitantly. "These guys must be trying to ruin your relationship with Orange."

Mao Dong turned off his phone and threw it on the back seat, "The voice is hers." ”

He leaned his head back on the backrest and closed his eyes wearily.

There was a sound of car horns honking in the back.

"Brother" Shar Pei also wanted to say a few words of comfort.

"Drive." Mao Dong closed his eyes and said in a low voice.

The car restarted and merged into the neon, leaving behind the bustle of the street and the joy of the crowd.

***

The sun shines through the clouds and shines on the earth. Through the window, a ray of sunlight shines on the golden bedroom, reflecting a golden light.

The person on the bed turned over comfortably, hugged the thick quilt and smashed his mouth. The sun shone on her body, and the whole person seemed to be immersed in the golden sunlight.

Maybe it was because he slept too sweetly, maybe he drank too much wine the night before, even if someone pushed the door into the room and gently put a cup of hot water on the bedside, Liang Ju on the bed did not have any tendency to wake up.

With a click, the door slammed shut, and the occupants of the room walked out again.

Compared to the bedroom, which has plenty of sunlight, the living room is much sparser. Mao Dong, who slept all night in the living room, woke up in the morning with a little pillow on his neck, and he twisted his neck and shoulders uncomfortably, only to feel a sore feeling.

went to the kitchen and poured a glass of warm water, Mao Dong drank it in one gulp, and the whole person was much more sober.

"I Liang Ju won't fall in love with any man, all I want is madness"

Somehow, the words in last night's recording inadvertently echoed in his ears again, Mao Dong took the water cup in his hand, his long eyelashes blinked, and the water in his mouth was stuck in his throat.

The voice is clearly Liang Ju's, and it is clear.

"I Liang Ju won't fall in love with any man, all I want is madness"

Just crazy and won't fall in love with anyone. Is that so?

No matter when this recording was recorded, Mao Dong could also hear from the content alone that this was what she said after breaking up with Sun Qi.

After swallowing the water with difficulty, Mao Dong gently put the water cup back on the table.

He walked out of the kitchen to the floor-to-ceiling glass of the living room, the traffic outside the window, the overpass and high-rise buildings in the distance seemed so lonely and cold at this time.

The hand was lightly placed on the glass, and it was cold.

The deal with Bai Si is also like a knife deep in my heart, and I can't forget it.

If he can avenge his eldest brother by losing a leg, then Mao Dong already has the answer in his heart, but he can't be sure whether Bai Mao's words are true.

A kind of turmoil tied his heart like a hemp rope, and for a while all the problems seemed to be concentrated in one time and erupted towards him, Mao Dong did have scruples in his heart.

He couldn't do what he wanted like before.

If it was before, maybe he would not hesitate to choose, but now

There was a sound of the bedroom door opening behind him, and when Mao Dong turned around, he saw Liang Ju in a white sweater and jeans standing in the sun with a confused expression.

***

The hair that had just woken up was dancing in the sun, and a pair of big eyes were sparkling on Liang Ju's puffy little face, completely missing her usual appearance.

The gray mood was blown away by the wind, and the sun shone out through the clouds and sprinkled on the tip of Mao Dong's heart.

"Slept?" He turned his back to the sun and asked her tenderly.

Liang Ju scratched his hair and laughed a few times, as if he knew that he had made a mistake the night before.

The corners of Mao Dong's mouth curled, and when he withdrew his gaze, he caught a glimpse of her feet, and her white and tender feet were actually smooth.

She didn't wear shoes.

"Go back to the house and put on your shoes." Mao Dong said unhappily.

The little foot moved restlessly, and Liang Ju continued to laugh, and then turned around and ran back to the house.

Looking at her back, Mao Dong turned his head with a smile and looked at the scenery outside the window again.

You never know what's going to happen tomorrow, so why worry about a cloudy day today?

Accidents, and tomorrow, never know, will come first.

***

Breakfast was not as lively as Liang Ju imagined, there were only two people, her and Mao Dong.

Mao Dong had a calm face, he didn't say much, obviously he was still angry, Liang Ju bit the bread in his mouth, and his eyes turned around a few times and he didn't think about how to explain.

In one breath? I really don't want to see the face of that guy named Bai or something last night?

almost bit his tongue after biting it, Liang Ju covered his mouth and snorted, but he didn't see Mao Dong raise his eyes and care about a few words as before.

It was really no match for his cold air, Liang Ju put down his chopsticks and stretched out his palm towards Mao Dong.

Mao Dong lowered his head to drink porridge, and when he saw the hand in front of him, he slowly raised the corner of his eye.

"Oh, I'll call you." Liang Ju said.

Mao Dong didn't speak.

"Aren't you angry, I'll beat you obediently, it's a punishment."

Mao Dong lowered his head and continued to drink porridge, "Did you do something wrong?" Why should I hit you? ”

Liang Ju just couldn't stand his cold war.

"Then you say, how can I do it so that you don't get angry?"

"I said, can you do it?"

"Yes, I promise!"

"Okay." Mao Dong put down the spoon and put his arms on the table. "In the future, you are not allowed to go to nightclubs, you are not allowed to drink, and you are not allowed to find random people to fight."

Liang Ju made a bitter face, "It's not allowed to do so much!" ”

"Can you do it?" Mao Dong didn't smile at all.

Looking at his serious expression, Liang Ju lowered his face, "I don't often go to nightclubs, and I don't often find people to fight." ”

Mao Dong glanced at her and said in a low voice, "I still remember that I met you in the bar a few times ago." ”

Liang Ju was dumbfounded and shook his head, "No, definitely not." ”

"Isn't that right? Good. Mao Dong looked stern and asked, "The second time, how did you meet?" ”

"The second time? Why not ask the first time? ”

"The first time was four years ago."

Liang Ju snickered, bit his lip and thought about it, "Oh, the second time, it's in"

I was still proud before, but I regretted it after a while.

She replied, "The second time was on the North Star." ”

"What are you doing?"

"I'm molesting you." After saying that, she couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Seeing Mao Dong's cold gaze drifting over, Liang Ju hurriedly explained: "Isn't it because I just fell out of love and am depressed?" ”

"Depressed, just flirting with strange men?"

Liang Ju was choked, and he couldn't think of how to answer for a while, so he held it for a long time before he gently slapped Mao Dong with a smile. "Dead ghost, don't you look too rare?"

Gagamaodong's face darkened completely.

Mao Dong sneered, "What about the third time? Where did you meet the third time? ”

"The third time," Liang Ju snapped his fingers and recalled, "I can't remember the third time." ”

Mao Dong saw that she was going to play tricks, so he answered for her: "The third time was also in Beixing, you were drunk, and pointed at me to fight for wine." ”

"Hehe~" Liang Ju hurriedly grabbed Mao Dong's arm with a sycophant smile, "It's still because you are good-looking and want to talk to you." ”

Seeing that the corners of Mao Dong's mouth actually had an arc, Liang Ju immediately continued to pat himself, "You see how hard I have wasted in order to get to know you, I am drunk and pretending to be stupid." Why don't you say it, how much hard work I did later in order to catch up with you, I went to Beixing to work, and I went to my hometown to find you, not all because I rarely like you. ”

Liang Ju retracted his arm and pretended to be angry, "Isn't it because people don't want to admit defeat because they don't want to admit defeat, so they were forced to drink with others yesterday, you don't know how to comfort and comfort me." Hey, I've drunk too much wine, and I still have a headache. ”

Speaking of this, she didn't forget to rub her head with her hands, pretending to have a headache about to crack, and grinning her teeth.

Mao Dong sighed and got up to leave.

Liang Ju hurriedly raised his head, "Alas"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw that Mao Dong had already returned from the kitchen.

He held a bowl of soup in his hand and placed it in front of Liang Ju. "Sober, drunk."

Liang Ju was a beautiful one in his heart, and he was so happy that he picked up the bowl and drank it.

Halfway through the drink, she heard him say, "Not anymore." ”

"What?"

Liang Ju didn't hear clearly, put down the bowl, and looked up at him.

The glare of the morning sun shone obliquely into the living room, coating the man's entire body with a layer of light.

He stood there with a long figure and said softly, "You don't have to do so much for me in the future." ”

"Why? It's all my own volition! Liang Ju was anxious.

"Shame on you?" Mao Dong squinted at her.

Liang Ju raised his face and replied with a smile: "Don't be ashamed! ”

Mao Dong's face was full of smiles, his eyes were half lowered, and he smiled at Liang Ju very gently.

He crouched down and made eye contact with her in his chair.

He gently took her hand, which was much bigger and warmer than hers.

"Change me in the future, let me do it for you."

He didn't want her to continue to give, but to replace him, and he tried to protect her and love her well.
